DENVER - Barack Obama accepted the Democratic presidential nomination last night with a scathing assessment of John McCain and a searing indictment of the Bush administration, promising to repair "the broken politics of Washington" and preside over a more prosperous and equitable America. Speaking to a rapturous audience of more than 80,000, the largest U.S. political convention crowd ever assembled, Obama delivered an address that was alternately outraged and uplifting, personal and political.

McCain's priorities more presidential Sen. John McCain wants to postpone tonight's debate to return to Washington to do his job as senator ("Debate in question as McCain stalls campaign amid the bailout crisis," Sept. 25). Sen. Barack Obama wanted to have the debate rather than return to Washington to do his job. Having noted Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama's priorities, I am immediately changing my presidential choice to Mr. McCain. Mr. McCain cares about what happens to our financial system.

Columnist Leonard Pitts could write his obituary for John McCain's integrity about every politician ("Here lies John McCain's integrity," April 18). Show me an individual running for office who has not made promises that he or she later regrets or reneges. Perhaps the writer should examine the record of Senator McCain's opponent for presidency, President Barack Obama. During his campaign he pictured himself as the best friend that Israel ever had or would have, mentioning platitudes about the strong relationship between the U.S. and Israel and the need for a safe and secure Israel as an ally of our nation.

John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as "not one of us," I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence. At a Sarah Palin rally, someone called out, "Kill him!" At one of your rallies, someone called out, "Terrorist!" Neither was answered or denounced by you or your running mate, as the crowd laughed and cheered.

WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain, the maverick Republican who challenged President Bush in 2000, has found his own unique way of campaigning for his one-time rival. It includes publicly defending John Kerry. In recent weeks, McCain has seemed to drift away from his task as a partisan working for Bush's re-election. Instead, he has cast himself as an unofficial mediator in the no-holds-barred fight between Bush and Kerry. Yesterday, in a nationally televised interview, the Arizona senator sided with Kerry against charges trumpeted in Bush's new TV ads that the Massachusetts senator has a dismal voting record on military issues.

A 19-year-old naturalized American citizen is accused of committing a crime of violence in the United States, and a gaggle of elected officials are urging for him to be treated as an enemy combatant and placed in the hands of the military. Not just the usual right-wing suspects but Rep. Peter King, Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. John McCain are leading the chorus. Thankfully, President Barack Obama did not listen, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was charged in his hospital bed today by federal officials with using a weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of property.

Baltimore's Pat Moran won an Emmy Award Saturday for casting on HBO's "Game Change. " It was the second for the woman who has cast virtually every major film and TV production done in Baltimore for the last 25 years. Moran was also nominated for her work on "VEEP," the Baltimore-based HBO satire starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus. "We won one and we lost one, but you know what? We won one, and that's fantastic," Moran said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles right after the creative arts Emmys were awarded.

If there's one way to sum up the 2008 presidential campaign, it's this: Never have so many professed to be offended with so little cause. Case in point: John McCain's campaign claims to be offended by a new Barack Obama commercial that paints the Arizona senator as an out-of-touch old guy. The spot shows footage of McCain from 1982, wearing dorky glasses and an unstylish suit, and mixes in elevator music and images of a disco ball and an old-fashioned portable...
